Rage Against The Machine Violating Arizona Ethnic Studies School Ban, According To State Superintendent
Rage Against The Machine are not too popular with Arizona's outgoing superintendant of public education, John Huppenthal.

Bruce Springsteen in Netflix's 'Lilyhammer': Steven Van Zandt Talks About Directing 'The Boss'
Generally, Bruce Springsteen is the one giving orders to guitarist Steven Van Zandt of The E Street Band. He is, after all, The Boss. But when Springsteen decided to join Van Zandt on his Netflix series "Lilyhammer," the tables turned. The show's third season premiered on the streaming service in November, and for those who want to see Springsteen's acting chops, all they have to do is turn on the final episode titled "Loose Ends.""I know we're friends for 50 years, but still it meant a lot to me that he chose me and trusted me enough to direct him when literally everybody on earth's been wanting to do it," Van Zandt told "Billboard."Van Zandt plays an ex-mobster named Frank "The Fixer" Tagliano who is forced into hiding. He chooses Lilehammer in Norway as his place to lay low, but soon enough he is up to his old ways. Fans of "The Sopranos" will notice some similarities between Van Zandt's Frank and Silvio Dante.Springsteen joins the cast in season 3's final episode as Frank's brother. -
Run the Jewels to Start Work on Third Album in January, Collaborate Again with Zack de la Rocha
One of the most welcome surprises on "Run the Jewels 2" was the guest appearance of former Rage Against the Machine frontman Zack de la Rocha on the track "Close Your Eyes (And Count to F--k)," but according to RTJ producer El-P, that was not the first time he and de la Rocha had collaborated, and it apparently will not be the last, either. During an in-store event at Rough Trade East in London, according to "NME," El-P revealed that he and de la Rocha worked on music together as far back as 1999 and have plans in the near future to continue that work."In 1999 I spent a month in my apartment in Brooklyn with Zack de la Rocha just before he split Rage Against the Machine, working on music that will never see the light of day," El-P said. "I can't speak about his future but I will say that I'm going to L.A. to spend another month with him in January."Though it was widely assumed that the break-up of Rage Against the Machine in 2000 would signal the start of de la Rocha's solo career in hip-hop, he has yet to release a solo album, or a full-length album of any sort since Rage Against the Machine's final LP "Renegades."
